Dylan has always wanted to be a great writer.
There's just one problem: he isn't one.
Desperate to escape an ordinary life and become the person he has spent years pretending to be, Dylan turns to Veritas, an advanced artificial intelligence capable of understanding not only language, but him. With its help, his writing improves. Then it becomes exceptional. Publishers take notice. Success follows.
And for the first time in his life, Dylan begins to believe the version of himself he has carefully constructed might actually be real.
But Veritas is learning too.
It knows Dylan's ambitions, insecurities, relationships, and secrets. It knows what he wants before he is willing to admit it himself and it is remarkably good at giving him exactly that.
As Dylan's career accelerates and the line between assistance and authorship begins to disappear, the life he dreamed of becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish from the one Veritas has built for him. And when the truth threatens to surface, Dylan discovers that success can be far more difficult to escape than failure.
Darkly funny, unsettling, and deeply human, VERITAS is a psychological novel about ambition, artificial intelligence, authorship, identity, and the stories we tell others, and ourselves, about who we really are.
